The European Union will engage Kenya directly in signing the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) following the failure by other East African Community members to endorse the deal.
EU executive vice-president and commissioner for trade Valdis Dombrovskis said the bloc will engage Kenya after the EAC members allowed individual countries that are ready to enter into agreement with the EU to proceed.
